The aim of this study is to compare the effects of hold relax agonist contraction and active release therapy on reducing pain intensity, improving functioning and sleep quality in patient with piriformis syndrome.
Both these techniques are passive, non-invasive manual therapy techniques which are easy to perform and less time consuming and may yield better outcomes resulting improved quality of life.
